David had a country round to Oakwoodmill, Ettrickshaws, Shielshaugh, Broadmeadows, Yarrowford + Thirladean. I walked out to Longmoss. Found that the road beyond the Greenhead March had been drifted up [illegible word]. It was a fine day but all the hills still white. Not very clear. Heard a Willow Wren near Shawmount2.
